First step to restoring my 1974 Duster; Front End rebuild (coilovers needed?)

FORGET THAT ARTICLE

FORGET coil overs

FORGET Tube upper arms

WHAT YOU NEED

REPLACE all bushings with brand name bushings, and all four ball joints. Inspect the steering linkage and replace the pitman arm if it's worn, the steering box and coupler if they are worn, and replace the tie rod ends

If you do NOT have an factory anit sway bar, get one or an aftermarket. If the car has V8 torsion bars, "try" them and you can replace them later.

Replace the shocks with your choice of a good heavy shock.

Get it aligned or learn to align it yourself, but DO NOT use the "book" figures if you are aligning it for radial tires

TIRES make a huge difference

REPLACE the bushings int he rear springs and make sure they are not too "saggy" and replace the REAR shocks. DO NOT jack the car up "rear high."

THEN GO FROM THERE. If it's still a bit "unhandly" for you try heavier T bars like from PST
